I’m a Democrat.
Most of Lemmy: EAT THE RICH!!!
Me: Idk, liberal democracy with reasonable social safety nets, some wealth anti-accumulation, and a robust education system? We should get there by showing up to city council meetings.
Most of Lemmy: LINUX!!!
Me: but I want a computer where I don’t have to troubleshoot the wifi driver every 3 months…
Me: but I want a computer where I don’t have to troubleshoot the wifi driver every 3 months…
That’s what we said, “Linux.” I haven’t had to troubleshoot a driver in like seven years.

So, you have no control over your own decisions?
I think you’re reading the room accurately. Nothing flops here like exposing childish extreme views to reality. If you’re not an extremist for their side, you’re worse than a monster.
I don’t think anyone here is an extremist I think they’re all so pigeonholed in their respective flavors of progressiveness that they forget other people have slightly different views.
Anyone who supports communism is an extremist relative to the rest of society. At least this is the case in the whole of USA and Europe.
Thats my biggest gripe with leftists.
We could agree on 80% of things, but that 20% that we don’t is the thing they’ll obsess over.
Is really depends what that 20% contains…
Yeah, usually that person you agree with 80% of the time is called an ally.
Precisely. But the biggest defining trait of ‘online leftists’ is they’re much more concerned about fighting amongst themselves, than fighting republicans.
While blaming democrats for their own incompetence as a political block.
Maybe so. Views tend to become simpler out at the extremes, and I think we have a lot of young people here who are drawn to simple, direct views. I mean shit I’m drawn to simplicity as well, but once you’ve had to manage things out in the real world, the first thing you realize is how complicated they are.
I don’t have to troubleshoot the wifi driver every 3 months…
Seriously I haven’t seen an actual WiFi issue on Linux for years.
Oh fuck this reminder me
Like a week ago my wife’s PC starts getting absolutely terrible wifi speed, like 1mbps when she normally gets 50 (terrible walls for wifi and the router cannot get closer sadly) so I go to investigate it
Turns out a recent update broke the drivers for her wifi adapter, of all things, resulting in some wacky ass behavior. This was not on a Linux installation, though…
That’s illegal!
Get your finger out of the trigger guard.
To be fair, if you saw the movie, he was definitely ready to pull that trigger within the next milliseconds. But yeah shouldn’t be pointing in the air without any trigger discipline
A drunk one.
I feel like your faction is always in complete opposite opinion to the knurd leftists.
Left handed leftist!
Never ask a Lemming what kind of leftist they are, or what is the best Linux distro.
What kind of leftist are you and what is the best Linux distro?
Socialist, Guix
anarcho-communist, arch
Dictionary Anarchist - BotaOS(the name I give when I recompile a kernel on anything that I am running for more than a few weeks).
Currently based on Pop.
Dishonor upon you and your family!
Huh, they’ll name Linux distros anything these days…
That is just the english translation, the distro is maintained and developed by Klingons and it invades off the tongue far more naturally in Klingon.
Post-left anarchist, Arch obv
I don’t use Arch but that wasn’t the question
I also don’t use Devuan but said Devuan is the best distro
ancom, devuan
Hanna Montana is the best distro
Me: a disillusioned Liberal who runs Fedora, because I’m a basic bıtch and I ain’t got time for this shit anymore.
Fedora is the Todd Howard meme of Linux: it just works
Well, um, whatever kind you use and whatever kind you are, of course.
That’s your favorite distro of linux now, but what previous operating system do you come from?
What if he’s a Gentoo user? He’ll mock me for using Archlinux, I’ve got to play this hand carefully so as to not blow my cover. There’s always the chance he’s a Mint user and I have nothing to worry about, but then, he could be one of those users that says ricing is a waste of time, who uses his OS professionally, but then, he might be a Fedora user… how do I approach this issue without seeming like a pleb?! Based Stallman, help me!
NixOS
LFS
How about that vaporwave aesthetic of Garuda Dr460nized edition?
Windows 2000. I feel like that’s reasonable. It was honestly pretty solid kit.
That was not my experience with 2000. Either 98 or XP (post-SP2) were more solider, from memory.
I think you might be confusing Windows ME with 2000.
Windows 2000 was built on the Windows NT kernel which was business focused so absolutely rock solid.
Windows 98 was a good jump in stability from the 95 kernel bit still very prone to crashing.
I agree XP was good but it was the successor to 2K so built on it and I moved to Linux as soon as the 2K directx support would have forced me to move to XP which wasn’t as lightweight.
For clarity there were two development branches within Microsoft at the turn of the millennium: one that was based off windows 3.1 (and became 95, 98 and ME) and one that was based off windows NT 3.1 which was solid as fuck and eventually became 2000 then XP.
Edit: Here’s a decent graphic: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Windows_versions#/media/File:Windows_Version_History.svg
Oh shit, I think you’re right!
Now that a stretch my memory back decades, I seem to recall I never extensively used 2000, it was ME.
I agree XP was good
I seem to recall something about XP not being good at the start, and it wasn’t until about SP2 that it reached it’s famed quality. But now I can’t seem to find anything about it.
Ah the naming was terrible in fairness… Windows millennium edition and windows 2000. I mean c’mon like. Haha.
And yeah I was gone by SP2 but I remember my gaming friends holding tight to that for as long as they could. There were even various really lightweight editions of SP2 that you could download if you had the balls to install a hacked together operating system from some randomer on the internet. And they all did.
Different times!!
Edit: also what’s up Dave on the far side of the world!
I’m the leftist from the Church of the SubGenius.
And Slackware ftw!fnord
Scrubs shut up when Slackware users stand up.
I’m one of today’s lucky 10,000.
Everyone is welcome to join my Fascist Communist party. The 2 sides end up balancing everything out to a perfect center.

That is like answering “swimming” to the question “what is that shark doing here”, technically correct but not exactly illuminating.
It sounds like what I call Boomerism, where old people live in an alternate reality and are told that their extremely racist and backwards ideals have occurred, but in actuality, the world continues on progressively and environmentally without their actual input, bubble of bigotry, if you will.
Don’t think I’d use the words balance or perfect when describing Nasbols
How about final compromise?

Really good film. He nailed his role. So much so it was a little scary how good he was.
You could hear a pin drop in the theatre when this scene dropped, it was just too real.
This scene really got to me, this was the first time I really felt how awful war is
If they hadn’t done “east west” instead of some other cardinal directions, it would probably be prophetic
The moment I heard “alliance between California and Texas” I was detached from the movie. That is literally the least likely alliance I could think of
There are pluralities of leftist in Texas, and wrongists in California. There would probably be two alliances between them, one on each side.
It was a bit much to work with, but once I realized that the civil war itself and the whys weren’t what the movie was about, I went with it. This scene was the most disturbing of them all. Maybe because it’s not that hard to imagine some people going this far. I’m sure there’s some veterans of various conflicts that would agree and saw it happen.
The point of the film is to show how horrible war is in a context Americans can relate to. If they made a more realistic alliance, down some sort of real life right / left politics the message would be lost and it would be held up as some sort of propaganda film by one side of politics with the other side using it to justify why they’re correct.
So, yes the “alliance between the California and Texas” is a very deliberate choice.
Also the idea of the two most economically independent and arguably most “separatist” US states forming an alliance in a modern civil war is really not the stretch that most Americans with their ideology blinders on might feel it is. Two large polities that wish to be sovereign lean on each other to support their parallel ends? That’s actually tenable world-building, I think.
I believe in the lore, California and Texas both secede from the Union following an unpopular president getting a third term. The rest of the Gulf states secede as the Florida Alliance, and the Northwest secede in some other alliance not directly named but usually listed as Western Forces.
What’s the film?
The movie is called Civil War
Jesse Plemons needs more lead roles. He reminds me of Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Oh, I’m not a leftist. My perspective is a bit more nuanced and complex than that. I am unburdened by ideology. I am the adult in the room. I am a centrist. 😌
Once a society decides some people need to be denied rights inevitably the monarch takes them all.
I’m pretty sure you meant to say coward.
This cant be real.
Haha, eveyone laugh at this centrist. Pick a lane you spinless coward /s
Nice bit, lol
😌
“I am unburdened by ideology.”
Ahh, you gotta love this line. It’s akin to a person here saying they’re unburdened by language because they only speak English, ‘the default’.
“Apolitical” people are not neutral or outside of politics, they preserve the status quo. Which, looking around the place, is not a good position. “Centrist” can mean wildly different things in different countries, but it’s essentially just conservatism (as in, conserving, avoiding strong changes in either direction) - the center in Nepal[1] [2] is wildly different to the center in the US because their status quo is different.
Liberal Left, kinda believe in a free market for non critical infrastructure (critical would be smth like food and housing), but you can’t profit from a company and everyone gets the same independent basic income and everything has to be open source
So basically a company is nothing more than a bunch of nerds who are passionate about something and want to make it ASA team, but you can still view and change their Idea and make it bettwr
kinda like the Relation between Arch Linux Staff and community maintainers
Also I have a violence Fetish, that should explain 90% of my deleted posts
Vibe-leftist. Any time I think ‘what should I do in this situation?’ I ask AI what the opposite of what Elon Musk would do.
